Yahtzee is a unique writer and it's worth a read. The main thesis is 
lamenting the constant re-releases of old games along with tech upgrades 
that mask impurities in the original experiences. E.g.:

"When you preserve a game for history it has to be preserved warts and 
all, because the warts are just as interesting as the good bits. They 
create a cultural context and an impression of the time and the 
attitudes of the people thereof."
